Scorpio Group-backed Eneti is ditching discussions with a Texas-based shipyard for what would have been only the second Jones Act-compliant wind turbine installation vessel (WTIV) ever contracted.

Eneti’s Jones Act ship was to be built at Keppel AmFELS in Brownsville, where the first Jones Act WTIV is under construction. Eneti is overseeing construction of that vessel, the Charybdis, which is owned by Virginia utility Dominion Energy.
